Mark your calendars for Sacramento Young Professionals of Color‘s upcoming November Happy Hour mixer, which will be held in partnership with Chicas Latinas de Sacramento.

November 15, 5:30-7:30pm at Azul Mexican Food & Tequila Bar! 🍺🍸

 Click Here to RSVP and Invite via Facebook!

The event will officially launch Chicas Latinas’ 2018 “Starting Off on the Right Foot” Shoe Drive. We’re getting a head start this year and hope you can join us at SYPOC’s event and help kick-off our drive on the right foot! At SYPOC’s November Happy Hour, we will be collecting NEW shoes and monetary donations for Chicas Latinas signature shoe drive event.

“Starting Off on the Right Foot” provides NEW shoes to elementary students in need. The children who attend our sponsored Sacramento schools live in underserved communities and the schools and students often lack basic back-to-school supplies. Shoes are often overlooked when finances are limited, yet they are essential to a student’s self-esteem and child development. Shoes that fit properly, are free of holes, and have intact soles, are considered a luxury item for some Sacramento families and children. It is our goal to see to it that EVERY child, at our sponsored school is able to start the new year on the right foot!

“Starting​ ​Off​ ​on​ ​the​ ​Right​ ​Foot”​ ​History:
2014 – Hagginwood Elementary: Collected 100+ pairs
2015 – Woodbine Elementary: Collected 400+ pairs
2016 – Del Paso Heights Elementary: Collected 500+ pairs

D. W. Babcock Elementary has be chosen as Chicas Latinas’ 2018 shoe drive beneficiary! Babcock Elementary School serves approximately 400 Pre-K through 6th grade students. Over 90% of the students are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged.

One hundred percent of all shoe and monetary donations will be used to provide a NEW pair of shoes for the children at D. W. Babcock Elementary, part of Twin Rivers Unified School District. All donations are tax-deductible (Tax ID: 46-1048619).

Look out for a future “Starting Off on the Right Foot” shoe drive event, benefiting the students of D.W. Babcock, near you!

In case you missed last year’s shoe-drive… here’s what you missed:

For that reason, Chicas Latinas members are host anual shoe-drives for local schools and are ask the community to join us for “Starting off on the Right Foot,” in an effort to provide shoes for these students as they enter into the new school year. Shoes must be new and should fit 5-12 year old students, boys and girls.

Please share this event and consider asking your colleagues, friends, and family to donate A pair of shoes… I have 100% confidence we can collect 700 pairs of shoes, with your help!

#ChicasWhoGive Sponsors Woodbine Elementary School for 2nd Annual Shoe Drive in Sacramento

10473806_10152439014211821_2897667491351908017_nChicas Latinas de Sacramento is excited to announce our 2nd Annual Back to SchoolDrive, “Starting Off on the Right Foot” benefiting Woodbine Elementary School in South Sacramento.

Last year we sponsored Hagginwood Elementary School and collected over 300 shoe donations (closing in at 500 after monetary donations) for their students in need — and we need YOUR HELP in accomplishing our goal of 700 pairs in 2015.

The shoe-drive idea is simple… new school year, new shoes! Shoes that fit and are in working condition, free of holes and torn soles. Back-to-school shoes, basic for most, but often a luxury item to many families and children in socio-economically disadvantaged communities.

Let’s rally together in an effort to provide shoes for these students as they enter into the new school year.  Please consider sharing our event, donating, and helping us reach our goal. ✨A lot of area stores are offering great deals for back-to-school shopping. We’ve found NEW shoes as inexpensive as $7! You can also donate directly to the drive at http://bit.ly/ChicasShoeDrive2015 (100% of funds raised will be used to purchase shoes).

Anyone can help by help by spreading the word… Invite, Invite, Invite on Facebook: “Starting Off on the Right Foot” Shoe Drive for Woodbine Elementary 👬👭

Fine print: Shoes should fit 5-12 year old students, boys and girls. Shoes MUST BE NEW. (Let’s give these kids something special that they’ll truly remember ~ a shiny new pair of kicks!) It’s not “technically” part of the drive, but we’ll also accept new socks. We were shocked last year by how many kids came to us without having socks on their feet.

The shoe collection dates will run from July 13 thru August 28 — ending with a free event for community members, participants, and donors! (TBA)
